Re: D60 Front Brake Upgrade

I havent figured out the rest of the braking system yet. I will probably need an adjustable proportioning valve to tune rear bias. The MC only has two ports so I will need a distribution block or a T block for the front. I'm not sure what would have been used in the 2005 GMC from the facotry. Fisrst step, and the reason for this thread, was to see if I can get the parts mounted to the D60. I hope to see the brackets on Monday and have it machined this week coming up....
For what it's worth, I have a drag car with Strange engineering racing discs on all four corners, and I am not using a proportioning valve at all. The car has no issues stopping from 136+ MPH trap speeds. I don't know if it would be the same for all vehicles though.

Keep up the good work, as I am following this thread closely. I really am thinking just like you as far as capitalizing on modern engineering to upgrade the braking system. My truck is a 70 3/4 ton D60 front, 14 bolt rear.
